lucky devil
Fortune's constant favorite
Lucky devil is a mildly envious expression for someone who has experienced good fortune: He won the lottery? Lucky devil!
The phrase carries affection rather than genuine resentment—you might call a friend a lucky devil, but not an enemy.
Lucky dog means the same thing.
